Chapter 3929
The servants exchanged knowing looks with each other, smiling.
One of them spoke up. "Honored General, you must have not heard the news yet! Her Majesty Princess Dorothy
is going to marry. The grand wedding will be in two days."
A grand wedding?
Grunt's body jerked in shock. He felt a dull ringing in his brain.
How could this be?
Grunt's brain was in a total state of confusion.
He had yet to confess to the Princess, but he was sure Princess Dorothy had feelings for him. Also, he had never
heard her speak of someone else she had had her eyes on.
What was the deal with this sudden grand wedding?
Seeing Grunt's stunned expression, the servants did not place too much thought into it and carried on with their
tasks.
Whoa.
Grunt finally managed to snap back to reality, panic slowly flooding his senses. He had half a mind to burst into
Princess Dorothy's chambers there and then.
"General, please stay back!"
At the entrance of the chambers, the guards outside halted Grunt in his steps.

Grunt's anxiety was crawling by the second. He roared, "You dare stop me?"
The head servant scurried forward, her expression one of pure discomfort. "His Majesty
has ordered that no one is allowed to see the Princess before her grand wedding. Honored
General, please don’t make this difficult for US."
The frustration in Grunt's chest was unspeakable. Yet all he could do was suppress his
anger, turning and rushing off to the Imperial Sky Palace.
It was timely enough that just then, the Nine Heaven Emperor was in the Imperial sky
Palace discussing with numerous officials regarding the grand wedding.
"Alright then!"
Seeing as everything was in order, the Nine Heaven Emperor waved his hands. "Make sure
nothing goes wrong during Dorothy's grand wedding. Off you go!"
"Yes, your Majesty!"
The officials acknowledged their orders, proceeding to leave the palace.
Right after they had gone, Grunt came rushing in. He got onto his knees. "Grunt is at your
service, Your Majesty."
Grunt's form was poised with respect, yet his eyes had an unreadable expression to them.
On his way to the Imperial sky Palace, Grunt had found out through eavesdropping that
the groom Princess Dorothy was going to be wed to was none other than Darryl Darby.
This left Grunt in surprise and fury.
Darryl Darby had killed Rogart, openly betraying the Godly Region. Now he had taken
Grunt's beloved Princess Dorothy as well? There was no way he was going to let this slide.
Huh?
At the sight of Grunt, the Nine Heaven Emperor frowned in displeasure. "Grunt, what
brings you here again?"
Again?
Grunt froze lightly, brows knitted in confusion, what did His Majesty mean by again? This
was the first time he had returned since his departure from the nine Mainlands. 2
The confused look on Grunt's face only made the Nine Heaven Emperor all the more
enraged, "why do you look so lost? I had ordered for you to fetch the glazed water and
hurry back to the nine Mainlands! Have you dallied this whole time and not gotten to it at
all?"
Glazed water?
Grunt was properly confused at the emperor's words now.
Thankfully Grunt had the sense to guess quickly enough that someone had stolen his
golden armor, and taken on his identity to meet with the Nine Heaven Emperor in the
Godly Region.
Also, this person was undoubtedly Darryl.
This only further fanned the flames of fury in Grunt's heart. Deciding to take a risk, he used up all his courage to
say, "Your Majesty, I have gone and returned only to request of one thing."
The Nine Emperor spat coolly, "what is it?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhew!
Grunt took a deep breath. He asked, "I'd like to humbly request Your Majesty to cancel the upcoming grand
wedding!"
What?
The Nine Heaven Emperor's demeanor darkened further. Grunt had quite the nerve, didn't he? what was he
thinking, that something as momentous as the Princess' grand wedding could just be canceled at the drop of a
hat?
Grunt quaked with fear in the face of the Nine Heaven Emperor's fury, but still managed to stammer out a, "Your
Majesty, it's like this! The Princess and I have feelings for each other. I had written a letter for her before I left for
the Nine Mainlands with my confession... but I had lost it along with my golden armor."
"I strongly suspect it was Darryl Darby who stole my golden armor, and entered the Godly Region by forging my
appearance to ask Your Majesty for the glazed water as well as to fool the Princess. II
Grunt ended his sentence with a huge gulp of air. "Please judge this with fairness, Your Majesty!"
Darryl Darby, forging Grunt’s appearance?
The Nine Heaven Emperor's expression was pitch-black at this point. He frowned. "Grunt, I understand you have
feelings for Dorothy. I forgive you for making up these untruths about Darryl Darby, but I will not allow you to
meddle with the grand wedding."
The Nine Heaven Emperor waved his hands. "That's all. You are dismissed."
It was no surprise that the Nine Heaven Emperor did not believe a single word coming from Grunt's mouth. The
Grunt that had gone to see Princess Dorothy with Empress Heidi was not Grunt himself, but Darryl Darby
disguised as Grunt.
